Abstract
A kinetic device (100) includes a rotator (102), a hub assembly (103), a mover (108), and a pinion assembly (110). The rotator (102) has a rotator axis (102X). The hub assembly (103) is coupled to the rotator (102). The hub assembly (103) includes a hub (104) having an aperture (107). The mover (108) rotates the rotator (102) and the hub assembly (103). The pinion assembly (110) is coupled to the aperture (107). The pinion assembly (110) includes an arm coupler (114). The mover (108) is configured to rotate a portion of the hub assembly (103) so that the pinion assembly (110) and the arm coupler (114) rotate about the rotator axis (102X).
Claims20
A kinetic device, comprising:
- a rotator having a rotator axis;
- a hub assembly that is coupled to the rotator, the hub assembly including a hub having an aperture;
- a mover that rotates the rotator and the hub assembly;
- and
- a pinion assembly that is coupled to the aperture, the pinion assembly including an arm coupler, the mover being configured to rotate a portion of the hub assembly so that the pinion assembly and the arm coupler rotate about the rotator axis.
A kinetic device comprising:
- a rotator having a rotator axis;
- a hub assembly that is coupled to the rotator, the hub assembly including a hub having a plurality of apertures;
- a mover that rotates the rotator and the hub assembly;
- and
- a plurality of pinion assemblies that are coupled to the plurality of apertures, each of the plurality of pinion assemblies including (i) a pinion, and (ii) an arm coupler that is coupled to the pinion, the mover being configured to rotate a portion of the hub assembly so that each of the plurality of pinion assemblies rotates about the rotator axis.
A kinetic device comprising:
- a rotator having a rotator axis;
- a hub assembly that is coupled to the rotator, the hub assembly including (i) a hub having a plurality of apertures, (ii) a first gear that is coupled to the hub, (iii) a second gear that is coupled to the hub;
- a mover that rotates the rotator and the hub assembly;
- and
- a plurality of pinion assemblies that are coupled to the plurality of apertures, each of the plurality of pinion assemblies including (i) a pinion, and (ii) an arm coupler that is coupled to the pinion, the mover being configured to rotate a portion of the hub assembly so that each of the plurality of pinion assemblies rotates about the rotator axis.
